Caring for someone with advanced cancer can see you putting the needs of the patient before your own.

Clinical Psychologist Kristen McCarter realised this when she was caring for her father, who died of colorectal cancer in 2016.

Now working for the Hunter Medical Research Institute, Dr McCarter has been inspired by her experience to see how we can best support carers.
